Best Chicken Red Pepper Saute For Two Recipes

SAUTéED CHICKEN IN CREAMY RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Add 1 tbsp of oil to hot skillet on medium high heat. Add thinly sliced red peppers. Sauté until tender with some browning. Remove red peppers from the skillet and set aside.
• Slice the chicken breasts horizontally. This will give you very thin cutlets so they'll cook faster and more evenly.
• Add other 1 tbsp of oil to pan. Add chicken to the hot pan. Liberally salt and pepper the side facing up. Sauté until each side has some browning and chicken is cooked through or mostly cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Lower heat to medium.
• Add all Creamy Red Pepper Sauce ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth.
• Pour sauce into skillet. Add the red peppers, chicken, and spinach to your sauce. Cover. Let simmer on medium to medium low for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and sauce is warmed.

CHICKEN WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the chicken: Put the chicken in a resealable bag. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning to the bag and smush everything together. Seal and refrigerate.
• For the red pepper sauce: Melt the butter and add the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add the red peppers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until hot.
• Add the broth (if you like a thicker sauce only add 1 cup broth, for a thinner sauce add 2 cups broth), salt and pepper and stir until heated. Splash in the cream.
• Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Place on the lid and puree the pepper mixture until totally blended (there will still be some texture to the peppers). You can serve the sauce right away or cool it and bag it up.
• When ready to cook, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes a side.
• Heat up the red pepper sauce in a pan. Serve everyone a piece of chicken, spoon some sauce over each piece, and garnish with Parmesan shavings and a sprinkling of parsley. Serve with roasted vegetables alongside.

SAUTEED CHICKEN AND RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon slices and drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, chop bacon into 1-inch pieces.
• Add chicken, bell pepper, green onion, and bacon to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until bell pepper has softened and chicken is heated through, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CHICKEN RED PEPPER SAUTE FOR TWO

Steps:

• Stir the cornstarch, 1/4 cup of broth, garlic and lemon pepper together until smooth; add the chicken strips and toss to coat.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the chicken mixture and remaining broth; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
• Add red pepper strips; cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink and the peppers are crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes. (During this time, I added a little water to the pan because I was afraid it was going to cook dry. It worked out well, and produced a nice sauce.).
• Garnish with green onions or chives.
